Separating Test Intent from Design Details with Portable Stimulus
The emerging Accellera Portable Stimulus Standard (PSS) provides features that enable test writers to maintain a strong separation between test intent (the high-level rules bounding the test scenario to produce) and the design-specific tests that are run against a specific design. This article shows how Accellera PSS can be used to develop generic test intent for generating memory traffic in an SoC, and how that generic test intent is targeted to a specific design.
